West Coast Gamers Workington

Here you can find out a little bit more about our club In Workington. The games we play. When we’re open, and a few other bits and pieces of information too.

Who are West Coast Gamers Workington?

West Coast Gamers Workington are a wargames club based in the town of Workington in west Cumbria.

We meet on Tuesday & Friday nights & Saturdays all day Above the Age UK shop on Oxford Street.

Our club has been running since 2010, although it’s roots run deeper that that, with wargames clubs being operated in Workington way back into the 70’s which some of our members can still remember!
Since officially opening in 2010 as West Coast Gamers we’ve went from strength to strength, and now open 2 nights a week (on Tuesdays & Fridays) and all day Saturday in our venue in Workington.
We regularly have around 25 members turning up to each club night and there are always a variety of games being played!

What Do we do?

Here at West Coast Gamers Workington we play a whole range of games each week!

We have a huge number of card gamers, who play Magic the Gathering, Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon among others.
We play board games like Game of Thrones.
There will always be at least one roleplay game being played and the roleplays like to try new systems all the time.
We also play a whole variety of tabletop Wargames. We play Games Workshop favourites such as Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (Age of Sigmar)
as well as the old classics like Battlefleet Gothic, Inquisitor & Mordheim.
We also play lots of other games Such as Deadzone by Mantic Games, Dropzone Commander by Hawk Wargames, Star Wars X-Wing & Star Wars Armada by Fantasy Flight Games. Judge Dredd Miniatures game by Mongoose Publishing, Malifaux by Wyrd Miniatures & The Batman Miniatures Game by Knight models
There is a strong contingent of Historical players too who like to play games such as Hail Caesar (Ancients), Black Powder (Napoleonics), Fire and Fury (ACW), to name but a few.
We also don’t care if a game has been long out of print, so you’ll often see games being played like Lazerburn & Stargrunt!

It’s pretty safe to say that we have all manor of games being played at the club, this list is not exhaustive either. We’re always on the look out for more games to play too, so if you’ve got something you don’t see on the list, then why not bring it down? Who knows, it could become the next big thing!
